Tuesday Links
Sorry for the late post two days in a row. I had all but finished and began typing the description for the last link, when somehow the entire post got highlighted and deleted everything I had written thus far. Anyways, they’re kind of paltry, sorry I couldn’t eat up more of your work hours…
I’ll never understand people. Especially people with expendable cash.
Intelligent women are disintegrating from television…But wait, aren’t middle-aged women considered fashionable for the upcoming fall season? Unless they’re all idiots, the practice of using the prevelance of fictional TV characters to illustrate a point about the social landscape needs to be laid to rest.
Larry David made a cameo with his two daughters on Hannah Montana, a kids program, so I am told. David is one of the more innovative comedians of his or any generation. But is anyone else concerned that he is rearing children?
The Sopranos series finale will go head-to-head with The Tony Awards. Call me crazy, but I don’t think the two audiences cross-converge in too many cases.
In a pre-emptive move, Trump has quit The Apprentice before NBC got around to firing him. So I’m sure he feels vindicated, and will lash out at NBC for even considering cancelling his once heralded reality show. Thing is, NBC cares inifintely more about scorning Mark Burnett than Donald Trump. But somehow I doubt Trump really grasps the concept of how television generates money.
Steven Van Zandt is allegedly letting spoilers for The Sopranos fly. I didn’t read more than the headline so please don’t go out of your way to comment on the article. Link to at your own peril.
Finally, and really I can’t think of anything more practical, Anna Kournikova and The Cartoon Network are joining forces to vanquish childhood obesity. What does the current sex vixen and failed tennis pro have in common with a TV network seemingly aiming to extend adolescence into everyones thirties? What do the two parties have to do with obesity? I don’t know the answer, but either way it should producce astounding results. I predict that within a year no child will exceed their average BMI.
